Thomas Rousse, Nomination for Secretary:
POSITION STATEMENT: If I have the opportunity to serve as Secretary, I will have four priorities: 1.) ensuring meetings and events are scheduled and conducted as efficiently and as painlessly as possible; 2.) disseminating the actions of the board in concise but complete minutes to the general listserv within 48 hours of every meeting; 3.) soliciting and supporting agenda items from outside the executive board; and 4.) following up on all points of action or requests for information decided upon in the minutes. I’ve served on more than a dozen executive boards and I’ve worked in a research lab as an administrative assistant, so I have a fair amount of experience in juggling schedules and taking minutes. I typically take detailed minutes for record keeping purposes and provide a 150-200 word executive summary; I’m more than happy to work with the new executive board or the needs and interests of the membership to make the minutes more useful and effective. I hope I can be of service to DiGRA.
